We took part of the MIREN workshop!✨
Arnau and Paula participated in the MIREN — Mountain Invasion Research Network 🌄 workshop, held earlier this month in Innsbruck, Austria. They joined through the project PRISMA: “Syndromes of recurrent plant invasions in mountain areas.”

IRIS goes to Iceland 🧊
At the beggining of July, Theresa ( @theresahenke.bsky.social )set off for colder climates returning to the University of Iceland Research Centre of the Westfjords (& @fishiceland.bsky.social) for a 6 weeks stay.
Stay tuned for updates on old & new projects :)

Me and @agneskreiling.bsky.social have seen a lot of cool species while on vacation in #Spain: #chamalaeon, #flamingo, #octopus and a huge #robberfly.
It has been a treat visiting @Theresahenke.bsky.social and hear about her work on #bioinvasions.

We had a busy Invasive Species Week at @iris-eeza.bsky.social!!
We joined the Macrobioblitz #SEI25, organized a public debate on invasions at La Guajira in Almería and were part of the organizing and scientific committees of IyrCIS (iyrcis.webs.uvigo.gal). Next year: more and better! :)

On April 3rd Ana, Arnau, Paula, and Theresa headed to Cordoba for the PRISMA kick-off meeting. Together with a team of researchers lead by Pablo González Moreno, we will investigate invasion syndromes in plant invasion in mountains over the next four years.
Stay tuned for exciting PRISMA updates!

How to include a human dimension in the research of biological invasions? @theresahenke.bsky.social talked to recreational anglers in Iceland to get their perspective on the spread of the European flounder. She was kind enough to share her story and findings with us!

The human dimensions of biological invasions – involving stakeholders in addressing invasive species
Can the knowledge and experience of recreational anglers in Iceland help us understand how far the invasive flounder has spread in the country?
